Members Rolandranch Posted March 8, 2019 Members Report Posted March 8, 2019 Here are some chink chaps I made for two of my sisters. I think they turned out pretty well and they are getting a lot of use. Let me know what you think. Critique is always welcome. Thanks for viewing! Ryan Quote
Members Tugadude Posted March 8, 2019 Members Report Posted March 8, 2019 You do great work. Beautiful family you all have there. God bless! Quote
alpha2 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 You're setting the bar awfully high there! Jeff Quote
Members plinkercases Posted March 8, 2019 Members Report Posted March 8, 2019 Fantastic work as always. Your parent make good kids! And what brand and style boots are they wearing if I may ask? Quote
Members YinTx Posted March 8, 2019 Members Report Posted March 8, 2019 By the looks on their faces, they clearly like them. Seems like another winner! YinTx Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 8, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted March 8, 2019 Attaboy Wait.. what's all the standin' round? Aint them little gals got some ropin' ta do? Quote
Rockoboy Posted March 9, 2019 Report Posted March 9, 2019 Ohh the horror ... the shame!! Poor Laura AND Sarah. Neither of them has a belt to wear! What sort of leatherworker Brother are you, Nate? Alright. A good one, but where's their belts? Quote
Members rleather Posted March 9, 2019 Members Report Posted March 9, 2019 Laura and Sarah are blessed to have you as their big brother. Magnificent work as usual, and a pleasure to see, thanks for sharing. Quote
alpha2 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 Wait! "Two of your sisters"??? How many siblings do you HAVE? What exactly is a-goin on at Roland Ranch? Y'all got some kinda compound there??? Slightly off topic, Jenny and I watched a video on YouTube today, of someone turning a pen from burl, she has a new appreciation of her pen now! Jeff Quote
Members Rolandranch Posted March 10, 2019 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2019 Thank you all! @plinkercases Thanks! I'll let my parents know! Those boots are Ariats. Not sure on the style though (except they're square-toe) @JLSleather I made sure I got some decent pics before I let them go beat 'em up. @Rockoboy SHHHHHH!!!! Don't tell them they need belts. They'll take advantage of me more than they already do! Actually, I have nice buckles for both. Just waiting for the leather to come in. Tooled belts coming soon! @alpha2 haha! I have three sisters and 7 brothers. I'm the third. My two older brothers are in college right now and they are going debt-free because of the pens they've made. I plan to do the same with my leather. Yes, my family is musical. We need to update our family pic because #11 is here! Quote
Rockoboy Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 Beautiful family pic ... maybe your family needs a TV! Quote
garypl Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 Nice looking family Ryan! I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters and there is nothing like growing up in a large family, especially during the holidays, birthdays, etc. Now that we are all grown with our own children and grandchildren it is difficult to get everyone into one picture! We need more family values in this world of ours. Gary Quote

With the leather work you do I am sure your will be well funded for college. Keep an eye on the littlest one with the baton... he looks like a man with a plan and attitude to make it happen. You guys remind me of the Von Trapps from Sound Of Music!!.. but with more guys and gals. Quote
Members JazzBass Posted March 13, 2019 Members Report Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Gorgeous work again, Ryan! Hey...lots of 'Bone players in that family - I've had the honor and great pleasure to work with both Bill Watrous, and (the great) Carl Fontana on many occasions. Don't worry...I'll hold off on the jokes about the "Pneumatic Pitch Approximator"...oops...did I say that out loud? ROFL! Beautiful family, beautiful work. You are indeed blessed, my friend! ...you just need to grow a bass player! Hahaha. Edited March 13, 2019 by JazzBass Quote
Members billybopp Posted March 13, 2019 Members Report Posted March 13, 2019 I have to wonder if P.D.Q. Bach's suite for trombone and strings in G is in your repertoire? - Bill Quote
Members dfrensdorff Posted March 13, 2019 Members Report Posted March 13, 2019 You’re a talented young man! Nice work! Quote

We're actually considering starting the little guy on bass... he needs to grow a bit more though.

I even wear a shirt that has "Ariat" embroidered all over it. I ALMOST named my new puppy "Ariat" but then I went with "Stetson." Here's my sister's boot style. This my favorite style (mostly because they're rider friendly). I'm on my second pair of these. Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted March 21, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted March 21, 2019 You are a very talented young man with a fabulous family. Six boys with one girl in my family. Ferg Quote

Got my first electric bass in 6th grade (11-12yo). Holy $#!^...I've been doin' it for almost 48 years! Geez... Hey-- Can't wait to see your next "Concerto in Leather". Quote
